I don’t know what it’s like to have a child but I imagine that having a dog helps prepare a couple for one.
For instance, Josh and I sat around playing the blame game today.
Me: Shio kept me up all night.
Josh: Because he’s been sitting at home the last three days and has a lot of energy.
Me: I would’ve taken him out to play this morning had he not kept me up by barking at lights outside all night.
Josh: That’s because you left him at home all day yesterday.
Me: But I made sure to run around until he was tired before we went to bed last night.
Josh: Maybe you got him all excited before bed so he stayed up all night.
Me: *rips hair out*
This conversation was just a no-win situation. For me.
Meanwhile, our lazy Shiba sleeps in until noon today.
hmm….so why didn’t Shio’s hudad exercise him if he noticed it needed done?
We are lucky – Zuko is pretty lazy and doggie daycare gets rid of *most* of the rest of his energy during the week. And he sleeps VERY well at night. Though he has been running in his sleep the last two nights and kicking me….
